Both sexe.^ tailless. 



The Chinese and Indian specimens are slightly different in most examples. 

 In either -sex the bluish, or bluish grey, or liuffish scaling on the upper surface of the 

 hindwings is much more extended in the Indian individuals. 



The forewings vary in length from 40 to 70 mm. ; the red submarginal spots 

 of the hindwings, above and below, are inconstant in number, size, and shape; the 

 red anal ocellus is above sometimes as indistinct as in Cramer's figure.

Both sexes tailed. 



In the shape of the wings and in size this .species is very variable; in three 

 small sjiecimens from Yokohama (April 1888), the hindwings are short and broad, 

 and have the tails narrowed towards the tip, not spatulate; in other individuals 

 the hindwings are elongate, and approach a little such examples of P. macUenlus 

 Jans, which have the hindwings shorter than usual. In the S there is mostly only 

 one red mark on the hindwings above, which stands at the anal angle ; some individuals 

 have, however, a red submarginal spot between the lower median nervules. Below, 

 the niunber of the submarginal spots of the hindwings varies from four to six, those 

 before and behind the upper median nervule being often obliterated; between the 

 lower median veins there is mostly a reddish ochreous discal si)ot, which occasionally 

 is extended along the nervules so as to join the corresponding submarginal lunule. 



The femaJe, which is paler than tiie male and has broader and shorter wings, 

 has often a complete series of ochraceous red submarginal spots to IxDtli sides of the 

 hindwings; most individuals have also a subanal mark between the lower median 

 veins, and, below, a smaller spot between tlic upper median nervules.
